Well, I thought it might be GC related also. It behaves similarly to how
you would expect a GC pause to behave (several fast responses, then one
that takes 5 seconds to come back).
But lately, I've noticed I just get the "down for maintenance" message
more than a delayed response.
In any case, I generally don't use the forum except read-only mode on my
phone. For posting, I'm generally using NNTP.
I'll note that when I started running into DB slowdowns on a system (not
related to D), adding one index fixed the issue. Sometimes linear
searches are fast enough to hide in plain sight :)
